Did your baby wake more or earlier while learning to walk?

Question

we've struggled for quite some time with ruby's early rising -- she definitely wakes before she is fully rested. we have been keeping her in her crib until 6 as well as putting her to bed an hour later, and it was starting to work. she is 13 months old and is now walking -- almost. she is still in the practice stage. could this be why we have hit a wall with the morning sleep? i have read that these milestones lead to early waking, and i am wondering if this has been the experience for other moms???

Answer 1

Yes! My daughter hasnt begun walking yet, but everytime she learned something new, she'd wake several times during the night. In fact last week she learned how to stand on her own for awhile, and she was up every night that week 3-4 times.
